South Mountain Fire Close To Antenna Farm

[powergate92]

Apparently there's a brush fire burning tonight very close to the South Mountain Antenna Farm. Checking through the Channels right now KPHO and KASW ATSC 3 Host Station are off the air and KPAZ is on the air with a black screen on all of its Subchannels. Apparently KNXV was also off the air earlier.

KPHO and KNXV (with KASW) were the only two actually off the air. KPAZ and KDPH-LD were black screen with signal from the transmitter.

Still really concerning to see this.

A look from KSAZ's Tower earlier, the fire got pretty close to some of the towers. The fire appears to be out now, or at least what you can see from their camera.
